Tasting Notes

Doug McIvor

Taster

Nose: Fresh and lively with grassy, oaky, vanilla notes and salty extremes.

Palate: Teasing sweet and sour balance of nuts and raisins, chocolate orange and brine.

Finish: Very warming, still teasingly raisiny until a faintly peaty dryness finally prevails.

Comment: Glenmorangie in spite of its lightish origins can walk the wood finish tight rope with majestic balance.

Score: 8.5

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Sweet. Very spicy. honey-cake. Baclava?

Palate: Unusually buttery. Barley-sugar sweetness at first: toffeeish, chewy, cakey. Then nutty, seed-like and grainy as it dries. Cinnamon and spices.

Finish: Short and sweet. Salty, oaky, rummy.

Comment: The madeira almost overwhelms the whisky, but the Glenmorangie saltiness finally sings.

Score: 8.5
